[GreenKeys] Model 14 restoration

[Ralph Irish]

Jim & Duncan, et al 

I saw one of the 'vertical machines' back in 1969 or 70. I was told it was a 
"BRPE" perf for high speed operation. And, it also was a 'fully punched' 
arrangement. I could have had it for probably fifty bucks, or so, but just 
had no specific use for it. 

For duplicating picture tapes, it would have been a great machine. Looking 
back, I don't know if I missed out on a good thing or not. But, at that time, 
fifty bucks was a lot of money. I was probably making around $14 per hour 
then. Fifty bucks was easily a month's worth of lunches at the plant cafeteria! 

Thanks for the images and info.

Teletype Corp originally referred to that machine as the "Single Magnet 
Reperforator" (Bul. No. 147). I think it must have been Teletype Corp.'s 
first reperforator. It was also know as the "RPE" model. ("Single 
Magnet" refers to the fact that it was a Stop-Start, serial machine, as 
opposed to the synchronous machines that had 5 magnets.) 

It was typically used with the M19 and sat on a little dolly that rolled 
under the M19 desk. There was a later version that had the same case, 
but had a M14 reperf inside.
